White emerald crab and a sick fish?

Postby NeoCatsy » Sun Nov 22, 2009 2:08 pm

I've had my 2 crabs for a few months now. 1) crabman has molted twice into a handsome devil. The other slacker started turning white he had been white for almost 2 weeks. I figured he was gonna molt so i didn't worry. It's been 4 days and I can't find a molted shell or any sign of him. I am getting worried. There has been NO change in water parameters and the other fish and inverts are doing fine.


The other thing is i think my damsel has ick again , he is not rubbing or acting weird. is it possible that my clown nipped him and its just a bite. Im kinda leaning towards Ick though.

Not too sure I have too much faith for the crabbule. I'd say check iodine and calcium levels but if the other crab is molting fine it may be some other issue. Not too sure. Could just be a fluke.

If you can't tell between a fish bite and ich, it's probably not ich. Ich is a very obvious salting of the fish. a pic or two would help :)

If I had a decent camera i would take a pic, but now all you would see is fuzzyness. it was white then it turned black. IDK. Also After 3 weeks The crab came out, He is still white, If i check the levels and add iodine or cal, should he molt, Im not sure what to do.
